    Who's your daddy?

    I vote cockerel, something in the face shape but also I think this is a saddle feather start

    Hen or rooster?

    BonBon looks like possibly a male, Barbie maybe. I'd give them a little more time, but I'd think at least Hiccup & Mocha look like pullets

    Any guinea pig owners/lovers?

    The testes don't have to be descended to get a female pregnant, 4 week old males don't have very big testes but they still need separated ;D Xrays can only detect fetuses when their bones have calcified, usually in the last part of pregnancies, so I would get her checked again in a month or so...

    What color are my chicks ?

    Black + Blue Birchen = half black half blue, regardless of columbian genes. What kind of birds are the parents? if they're mixed breeds we'd need to know their parents to give accuracy as obviously these chicks are not solid black/blue:)

    Any guinea pig owners/lovers?

    If your local vet doesn't want to treat them, I would look around for a second. Especially if they arrived in bad condition, I would want a vet on hand in case something worsens or develops. Just to be clear you have now 1 male, 1 female, 1 female with babies, 3 babies? Was the vet able to...

    Chicken attacked by maybe a dog. Not eating or drinking.

    Pictures may help, have you already tried contacting vets nearby to see if anyone would be willing to examine her? Not all vets are comfortable with poultry, but especially without eating for this long it may be something pretty serious.

    Her hock looks bent.

    Wow, that looks at least dislocated. Are they still putting weight on it? Have you already called vets nearby to see if they'd examine or xray her/him?

    Food for mixed flock

    If he refuses to listen and is unwilling to read or learn about the topic, unfortunately sounds like he'll have to learn the hard way as his birds get weak, obese, suffer malnutrition, likely reduce or stop laying eggs, and develop egg laying issues, and likely some will die over time. Sometimes...

    Silkie thread!

    Is there a way to get turned off for mass tags for contests?

    Average Life Spans

    In my own experience ONLY, it's depended on where they're from. I want to say avg is probably around 6-8 years with all of the factors including disease, predators, source, etc. Bantams we got from a large scale breeder next town over and had over 200 birds at any time, while gorgeous, did not...

    Too many roosters

    Definitely plan to have one rooster for 8-12 hens, even having 20 hens and 2 roos can result in fighting over territory or ladies :( some boys just don't like sharing

    🥁🥁🥁... Two Fertile Eggs 😭

    Yes she was in the brooder. The only animal who could have possibly had access would be our elderly cat, he hasn't tried hunting anything in years, he doesn't even like walking fast nowadays. He's at the point in his retirement he kind of just sleeps and complains for treats before sleeping...

    🥁🥁🥁... Two Fertile Eggs 😭

    I'm entirely crushed. Worst way to start a weekend, the baby just disappeared. Not in the brooder, not anywhere out of the brooder. I'm completely crushed. At this point I'm not sure the other egg is going to hatch, I'm not sure it's even pipped. I have 2 dozen eggs to set but I'm just so low...

    Is this chicken a hen or rooster?

    It definitely looks like a mix breed, sorry :( it always sucks when it happens to the bird you want to take to shows

    Breed/Gender

    Unfortunately I think both may be boys with combs and wattles like that at so young

    Flexible Coop Interior

    What sort of coop are you building for them? I feel like just a sliding piece of wood would work in some instances, but it depends on what set up you're going for

    🥁🥁🥁... Two Fertile Eggs 😭

    Second egg hasn't hatched yet but we're gonna leave it going and hope he pops overnight. Just sharing some cute pictures :) she's been hanging out with the family in the house today, gonna have to at some point break it to her she'll have to go in a brooder overnight... I love my birds but they...

    🥁🥁🥁... Two Fertile Eggs 😭

    One tiny baby so far! He cried in there for at least 4 hours before the family took him out (he was dry by then). They floated the other egg after I left for work, no wiggles but it still appears alive so hoping it'll pop out! Today should be day 17 so hopefully his brother will start hatching...

    What breed are these white bantams

    I don't think they're crosses, they look just like your average leghorn, I will expect them to lay a white egg once healthy

    Hen or Roo? 11/12 week old Lavendar Orpington

    Cockerel, the other boys you have are likely more dominant than he is :)
